Abstract
Neotropical characiform fishes present two main trends of chromosomal evolution: some taxa show a heterogeneous pattern, with an extensive n umerical and structural variation while others show a more homogeneous one, with a clear stability in their karyotype macrostructure. The im plications of the populational features and some other conditions to t hese two general paths are discussed.
